These plants have been outside for about a month and I have transfered it to indoor today.













P.D. Are these the proper lights? They are 27 Watts, 1400 Lumens, and 5500K. Can 2 do for now? I got another two but i didn't have money for the socket thingy. Any advice? Should I change anything? ANYTHING, from distance of lights, positioning, etc...

Try to get them more directly over the plants at about the same distance. The bulbs are the right spectrum but more of them will be needed shortly. Are two plants growing right next to each other in that pot?

Yeah its fucked up. They were to close together. I was scared to break the roots.

The thing is the fucking lamp has something under so I cant get them two straight above. only 1 :wall:

That will not work for very long, get a couple of sockets on a chord and two Y splitters so you can hook two bulbs into one socket. That means four bulbs in two sockets. You are going to need to transplant one of those seedlings into a different pot, transplant the runt of the two before it gets too big and will less easily handle the transplant.

Im scared though.. What if i break it?

gotta get ur hands dirty rather save one then loose em both!

get rid of that foil and use a $1.99 emergency blanket

and yeah use the y spliter more lights the better

and those are the right bulbs for now

the reddish spectrum is for flowering

Use a spoon to dig around it just a few inches down and pop it right out. don't worry it will be just fine. have another pot handy with some pre moistened soil to put the patient in.

Those plants are going to start flowering unless you increase the amount of light to at least fourteen hours

im still a new grower but like i saw someone tell you before. I did this as well. go to walmart, or anything like that (home depot, canadian tire, or whatever is in your area) and buy a survival blanket. mine were about $3 each. i needed 2, you will most likely only need 1. you can tape it piece by piece to the walls of your structure. use aliminum tape. its about 5-6 bucks. this will increase reflectivity to the plants anf help keep up the temp in your garage. they reflect %90 of heat.
